Basic Fantasy RPG

Anybody here play that? I'm currently researching it. I think maybe I want to play that instead of 5e...

...I had no idea that there were so many RP choices!!! 😁

The choices are nearly unlimited...from the bizarre to the profane. The neat thing is that no matter how obscure, someone on GP has probably played it at least once.

I have played BF RPG and personally I'm a fan. I feel like there are more OSR/OSE games on this site but BF has several free splat PDFs that really let you flush out a character.

Nothing against 5e but I find it kind of takes the mystique out of DND when every character can heal themselves and get full HP after a night's rest. No real stakes, know what I mean?

I've seen it run a number of times here on GP and played in it twice. It's an excellent, flexible version of old school D&D. Lots of optional bells and whistles to capture whatever style you're after. @naatkinson is who I think of when I think of GP members with a lot of Basic Fantasy know-how, I'm sure there are others too!

Yeah, I just found his open to public game. I'm gonna go read it!

Basic Fantasy is great. I've run a few games of it on GP and a few in person for my kids :)

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but holy crap! This thing is dangerous DEADLY!?!?!?

Are there rules/restrictions on how often monsters can use breath attacks?
Found it.
# of times per day = HD
Every other round.
*For dragons

Different monsters have different rules on frequency and total Breath Weapon uses... Nothing listed for the turtle...

I would guess that they follow the same rules as true dragons do. The damage of them matches (30 HD to 30d8 damage)
